Team Names

Does anyone else think that it's really hard to refer to the other team in threads because each team flies on both axis and allied?

To solve this, I think we should come up with team names.

Perhaps we should take the time between events to come up with idea's and then vote on it before the season starts.

What say you?

S!

No not really because we have been flying against each other for the good part of a year now. I realize the 69th is rather new to this format so I could see where it might be difficult for you

Your side is pretty homogenous on Squadron compliment...69th and RCAF..compared to the our guys which are made up of several squadrons (AVG, RAF209, AKA, Jasta 9,Wing Walkers, just to name a few) ... Most of us have been flying together in for years in mixed types events, without the need for coming up with a new mascot type name to refer to the whole group as.

There's no need to insult my intelligence. There is nothing difficult about "this format" whether I'm new to it or not. The reason for my suggestion is a little self serving I guess, but I would think that other people have the same annoyances that I'm coming across.

I've been writing a lot about tactics and other things in our private forum at the 69th site, and in almost every comparison between the two teams I try to make, I have difficulty trying to figure out what to call the other team. I guess I could call it the AVG/RAF209/AKA/Jasta 9/Wing Walker/etc team but it seems a bit winded. I'd like to use terms like the "Axis" or "Allies", but that becomes confusing when you think that both teams play the maps as the axis and allied forces. I'd also like to use "Blue team" and "Red team", but again that creates the same problem. So instead I've been forced to use terms like "opposition" and "enemy" to describe the other team, but those just seem vague and forced. Hence this is why I proposed the team name idea. That way even simple things like scores and news updates can be better describe the group of people they are referring two without some of the confusion that is caused by terms like "this team" and "that team".

But I guess that's just me...

Try Us and Them, or Skins and Shirts? or RBers vs. IL2ers
